Location
Getting Here
Ideally located only 20 minutes from Dublin city and Dublin airport.
With the opening of the Porterstown Link Road between Castleknock and Blanchardstown, it is now even easier to reach the hotel. If you're driving from the Airport or the M50, come off at junction 6 and then veer left taking the turn for the M3 motorway to Navan/Cavan and not Blanchardstown/Castleknock. Then exit at junction 3 of the M3 at the Blanchardstown Centre beside the Crowne Plaza Hotel Blanchardstown. Take a left turn at the roundabout and the continue straight on past 3 roundabouts, over the Dr Troy bridge, straight on at the next cross junction and then take a left at the T-junction. Continue on this road for approximately 1.5km until you see the hotel on the right hand side.
